MONDAY 31st OCTOBER 2022 (1055 HOURS)
We were contacted by North Yorkshire Police after a walker reported seeing a climber, potentially in difficulties and unable to move on the south-west crag face of Roseberry Topping.
After speaking to the caller our call-out officer deployed three Team members using one of our Land Rovers in order to make an initial assessment. However, after checking the area and speaking to various people on and around Roseberry Topping nothing untowards was found and they were able to stand-down. Many thanks to the original caller for alerting the Police to someone potentially in danger and, as usual, to everyone at Aireyholme Farm for access across their land.
The call-out lasted just over 1-hour and involved three Team members at the scene plus our call-out officer working remotely, with other available if needed.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

CALL-OUT 50/2024
FRIDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2024 (1801 HOURS)
Yesterday saw our 50th call-out deployment of the year. That’s in addition to 25 other incidents dealt with so far (such as casualties at safety cover events, incidents resolved by phone or where we were stood down before deploying etc).
For last night’s call-out, we were initially contacted by Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team and subsequently by North Yorkshire Police to advise us of a family in need of assistance whilst out walking on the Cleveland Way near to the Yorkshire Gliding Club. One of them was unwell and unable to continue their walk back to the carpark at White Horse bank.
Having spoken to one of family by phone to check on the casualty’s condition, we also identified their location using the mountain rescue SARCALL Phone Find system. A limited call-out of one Land Rover crew was arranged, whilst maintaining regular contact with the family. Once they had been located and assessed we transported them back to their car for their onward journey home.
Four Cleveland MRT members were involved for just under 2-hours plus return travel time back to Base. Twenty-one other members were on standby but not ultimately required.

Should have rang a taxi not the mountain rescue
Total respect!
